Who we're for
Athlete Mannies & Nannies is built for busy, professional families who need childcare that keeps up with their lives — from demanding work schedules and packed diaries to school runs, sports, clubs and everything in between. Whether you're juggling work and family life, managing it all as a single parent, or new to London, we provide active, reliable nannies who make family life that little bit easier.
If you need a carer who can keep up with the pace — the clubs, the early starts, the last-minute changes — you're exactly who we built this for.
- Busy, professional families juggling work and family life
- Single parents managing it all on their own
- Families new to London who need reliable cover fast
- Kids with bundles of energy and busy school schedules
What makes us different
Every nanny and mannie in our network loves being active, bringing energy, play and encouragement to the hours that usually disappear into screens.
Active role models
Carers who genuinely love being on the move, whether that’s football in the park, races in the garden, or a splash at the pool.
Play that gets them moving
Less screen time, more games, activities and outdoor adventure — after-school hours built around fun that just happens to be active.
Reliable, vetted people
Enhanced DBS, First Aid, verified references and a face-to-face interview before anyone meets your family.
The Family Wallet
A private parent login with your agreement, your nanny's CV and checks, membership and guarantee in one place. No other agency does this.
Our commitment
Less screen time, more play
We do not park children in front of tablets. Our carers plan the hours around movement, games and real-world activities so your children come home tired, happy and ready for the evening — not glued to a screen.
Movement first
Every afternoon is planned around play, games and physical activity before screens are considered.
Real-world engagement
Parks, gardens, sports, crafts and friends — not endless tablet or TV time.
Parents kept in the loop
Clear updates on what happened, how the children ate, and what they enjoyed most.
Flexible to your family
We adapt the routine to your household, school clubs and children’s energy levels.
A typical after-school day
A balanced routine with more responsibility, sport, and structured homework time.
- 3:30pm
School pick-up
Meet at the school gate or agreed collection point with a quick check-in on the day.
- 4:00pm
Play & sport time
Park, garden games, a kickabout, a swim or simply running around — movement first.
- 5:00pm
After-school activities
Clubs, playdates or structured sessions dropped off and picked up on time.
- 6:00pm
Homework
Quiet table time with support and encouragement, not screens as the default.

Dinner
A simple, balanced meal prepared or served alongside the children.

Household tidy & other duties
Lunchboxes, uniforms, toys away and the kitchen reset — ready for tomorrow.
Timings are a guide and are tailored to each family, school and child.

Why families switch
Childcare apps vs a private agency
Private curation
We never put candidates in a public catalogue. Every match is hand-selected for your family by the founders.
Payroll handled for you
We coordinate your nanny payroll setup (PAYE, NI and pension) so you never touch the admin or risk HMRC penalties.
Insured as standard
Enhanced DBS, Paediatric First Aid and Public Liability Insurance — included, not an extra.
